Mr.. Murat Halstead, in his Foraker
speech at Cincinnati last Friday night,
tried to prove that Americans are all
fools. He worked himselfin into hyster-
les and declared that if democratic
President was elected in 1888 we shall
pay pensions to the Confederate army,
give the South indemnity for eManci-
pated slaves and wipe out all the war
amendments to the constitution.
This, OF course, is pure, unadulter-
ated rot However, the republican
leaders ought to be excused, or even
pitied, for when they need facts they
have to manufacture them for the oc.
casion, for those of history are all
against them. They seem to have no
policy but sectional hatred, and unless
they can get the North and South by
the ears again they have no chance to
get to the White House. Mr.. Hal
stead was rather wilder than usual
though.-N. Y. Herald.
